White Garlic Pizza Sauce

White Garlic Pizza Sauce

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons butter

4 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 ½ teaspoons garlic paste)

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 cup whole milk (or half-and-half for richer sauce)

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ teaspoon Italian seasoning (optional)

Pinch of crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a tiny kick)

Instructions:

1. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat.

2. Sauté the garlic:

Add minced garlic to the melted butter.

Cook for about 1–2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant (don’t let it brown).

3. Make the roux:

Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1 minute to form a paste (this removes the raw flour taste).

4. Add the milk:

Slowly pour in the milk while whisking constantly to keep it smooth.

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer — it will start to thicken.

5. Add the cheese and seasoning:

Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Keep stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thick and creamy.

6. Finish and use:

Remove from heat. The sauce will thicken a little more as it cools.

Spread it directly onto your pizza dough before adding toppings!
